Like the sun rises every morning, you can expect Hat to have a controversial opinion on something that the rest of the free world agrees on.
Odd take. The occasional stupid penalty is just one of those things you budget for with guys like Jennings. Like expecting an occasional late hit with a Barnett. But the pros are so much greater than the minimal cons. When I assign blame for missing a bowl game in ‘18, I’m pretty far down on the list before I get to JJ. All that said, and as all time as he is here, he ain’t no Al Wilson.
Put him on a championship competing Tennessee team and he'd be right there with Al, maybe not all the way but not too far behind. JMO of course. But I'm with you on the odd take. JJ had absolutely nothing to do with missing a bowl game last year.
The guy he drug into the endzone was committed to Tennessee at one time and spent a lot of time around the team before de committing.
It's easy to be an Al Wilson when you win 45 games and a NT. I'll take the guy who does it in this less than ideal situation.
That’s such an unbelievably inconsequential thing to hang onto. One mistake in a game we probably lose by 17+ without him.
Shit, dude should get a statue just for this. When he starts going off on Vanderbilt, I can't imagine not wanting him on your team. Well, I wouldn't be able to imagine it before I was introduced to Butch Jones.
You may have underestimated Al Wilson by quite a bit. I get its different times, but he's the goat, imo. I do love Jennings though.
Al Wilson is the greatest Vol of all-time, in any sport, during any era, and it’s not even worthy of a debate.
He get mad at somebody? His internet persona was 180 from off the internet. But man he had a following that loved the tough and angry posting style.
I just looked back, Jennings was ranked above Drew Lock, Sam Darnold, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and Kelly Bryant as a QB recruit
